Fosterburg Water has several different areas that are under different fees to tap on for water service.
If you are considering building or are in need of water service your best option is to contact the office at 618-259-0935 and speak with Amy, Kim, or Mark about the tap on fees.
Current tap on fees (whereby there are no new construction fees) are:
$2,700.00 for a 3/4 inch meter
$3,300.00 for a 1 inch meter
In either case "or cost of installation, whichever is greater" applies.
Meter Sizing: To begin the process, one has to download the "Water Demand Calculator" which can be found here.
Once the water use fixtures have been given, the meter sizing shall be based on the Gallon Per Minute for the 99th Percentile Demand Flow. The demand at the 99th Percentile in GPM flow rate below 15 GPM shall be 5/8” x ¾” meter. For GPM flow rate higher than 15 gpm but less than 55 gpm at the 99th Percentile shall constitute a 1” meter. (For water demands over the above listed in domestic use District does reserve the right to limit meter sizing).
A copy of the spreedsheet results are required with the Tap-on Application
Note: If you are anticipating an irrigation system (yard sprinkler system) or any high continuous water demand, a separate water meter is required and shall be plumbed in such a way to be isolated without effecting your residence water supply, and cost of installation and billing shall follow current District Ordinances thereof.
The District reserves the right to limit use of both types of meter demands (Particularly the high continuous water demand) including not but not limited to the termination of service until deemed acceptable for use and shall do so with or without notice. The circumstances could be due to environmental impacts (i.e. drought conditions) or in case of other circumstances (i.e. fire related or simply water demand related) said limit use or restrictions of use (including terminating service) are actions taken by the District in keeping the integrity of the District’s water pressure and or water levels in the water towers within a safe operating level as per IEPA regulations.
